This of course comes somewhat down to getting the right fit, but with the right size/fit, they have good heel hold. The heel hold was actually pretty decent - better than a lot of traditional laced boots I've tested. But at around that 6/10 flex, they strike a really good balance between being easy to maneuver at slower speeds, but still being able to get quite deep on carves at speed. I found I had the perfect snug but comfortable fit in the 9.5, with good heel hold. I had no issues with the top of my right foot in this boot. I have a flat left foot, and a normal to low arched right foot. High or Low Arch: Felt about average to me. So, already being low profile, this makes them even smaller - so if you're looking to get on a narrower board and want boots that allow that, these are pretty much the best option by a good margin, IMO. going for a half size down than what you'd normally ride in. So, that means, if you usually ride a 10, then this works best in a 9.5. True to Size?: The Tactical ADVs run half a size large for me. Overall plenty of wiggle room for toes (length, width and on top), without being loose. But even without wide feet, they fit really well, so not an issue for non-wide footers.

I don't have wide feet but I've heard from a lot of wide footed riders that these are great for wide feet. Width: Like most Adidas boots, the Tactical ADV have a wide toe box. Heaviest were 1320 grams and lightest were 740 grams. * Average of a sample of boots I weighed was 1006 grams, so a just a little heavier than the average, but pretty close to average. It does not store any personal data.Bindings Demoed With: Burton Malavita 2017ĭifference between Mondo & Outersole: 1.8cm (the lowest I've measured of any other boot - except the Adidas Acerra, which I measured at a mere 1.5cm more on the outersole vs the mondo.

There’s still ample cushioning through the EVA construction, and the Continental Rubber Outsole provides excellent grip whenever you’re on the move by foot.Īrguably, the Response 3MC ADV boots are often squeezed out from the heavy hitters like the Tactical Lexicon or the cult classics like the Samba ADV, but these boots make a really attractive offering for riders looking for versatility and the quality construction we’ve come to trust from Adidas, without potentially overtaking the budget you’d set aside for your board or bindings. The lack of any Boost Midsole on the Response boots does sacrifice some of that impact absorption and power transfer that the models up are renowned for, but it also shaves quite a chunk of the total price off, too. That’s nothing out of the ordinary for boots of this price-point, but it’s a feature that guarantees a consistent and progressive flex of the boot that doesn’t blow out after repeated day’s riding so is always worth looking out for. The shell itself features an articulated cuff construction with a 3D moulded tongue. Even after repeated heavy use, the liner continues to hold its shape and avoid packing out well into the season. The Silver Level Ultralon heat-mouldable liner obviously won’t quite match up to the customised fit of the model up, but will still deliver a pretty close equivalent.
